Five undecided South Carolina voters joined Fox News host Laura Ingraham after a recent Fox News town hall featuring former President Donald J. Trump. A town hall was held last Tuesday.
Ingraham interviewed Jason, Tracy, Eric, Dakota and Matt on Monday before and after the town hall. With all of them on the fence about who they would vote for before listening to Trump, each one of them was pulling toward Trump by the end.
One of the reasons Trump had such a strong influence on them is that he left the petty negative flavor on the table, and did not use even a single sarcasm against his rivals. Instead, he led with solutions and honesty. That's the exact recipe that will positively sway undecided voters away from his only Republican challenger in South Carolina's presidential primary, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.
Haley is currently trailing the former president by a wide margin, and is playing a long game in hopes that Trump will be forced out of the running due to the myriad of indictments against him, one can only assume. Based on likely voters who will participate in the upcoming primaries on Saturday, Trump leads Haley 65% to 35%, according to a Suffolk University/USA Today poll.
With her friend and regular contributor to “The Ingraham Angle,” Raymond Arroyo, by her side, Ingraham asked voters if the City Council had changed their decision.
“Donald Trump, if I could sum it up in one word, it's just 'power.' “He had a way about him that demanded attention, and he really seemed like the kind of leader I would vote for,” Dakota said.
President Trump has been described as being very strong. His demeanor lent a needed air of confidence, dependability and purpose to the conversation. He seemed to have a plan and a direction.
Matt stated that he was very happy when he heard that Trump was intent on using his success as his ultimate revenge. The issue of vendetta has been on everyone's minds, and Democrats seem to have pushed it as a reason for Trump's candidacy.
Trump has insisted otherwise, claiming that “my success will be my revenge.” Matt then summed up Trump's intentions in the following remark: “Is he running again to get revenge, to pay back, who should we attack, get revenge? No, it is my policies, my platform, and my results that will be the revenge.”
When Arroyo asked her whether Trump had sufficiently allayed all the concerns about how he plans to handle illegal immigration, including removing the nearly 10 million illegal immigrants who have invaded our country so far, Tracy seemed as satisfied as could be. Be in the present. The truth is that the task will not be easy even with the best laid plans.
Tracy brought up a good point about some states being tougher than others in getting rid of these illegal immigrants, especially blue states. Trump will certainly not be able to rely on the politicians who lead those states for help, unlike the red states.
“In fact, when they need it most, it's probably the least effective,” she said. She's not wrong.
Aside from the Pentecostal and homeless themes, on which Trump also scored big, Arroyo asked Eric about the former president's tone. Looks like “lovable” is the ruling here.
“Today he was very loved,” he said. “Guys, when he walks into the room, he owns the room. And obviously everyone loved him. I couldn't help but cheer for him. I'm standing in front of the president. And that's very exciting to me. … It's hard not to love President Trump.”
Trump's interest in this country emerged among these five voters. His answers convinced them that he was running because our nation was in its last days. The five voters gave the impression that they believed Trump in his intentions. With everything the left puts before it—indictments, lawsuits, fines, and more—it's hard to think otherwise.
Even Ingraham herself noted how most people would have literally decided to call it quits, given everything Trump had to deal with simply for his desire to rescue the United States from our downward spiral. It is appalling how they persecute them. Trump card. Democrats are doing everything they can to force him to his knees. But it was his unwillingness to break that prompted the Americans to rally behind him in large numbers.
It seems that the deciding point for the five voters in throwing their weight behind Trump is the strategy that Trump put forward to overcome all his legal challenges. It appears that with a strong plan backed by the Eighth Amendment, voters felt confident in checking Trump's box.
Matt ended his speech by walking back Trump's words, saying: “I'm not worried about my safety. “I am concerned for the safety of this country and its people.” This powerful statement tipped the scales, and no doubt applies to all five nations and much of the rest of the nation as well. You won't see this with Biden. It is time to go back to having a president and not a puppet in the White House.
